Dawn of the Chaos
Chapter 9: Virus Crisis
"I can't believe this! They are so smug! They look down us!" Zelda says angrily. Now she and Link are in the Civilight Park.
"I can't believe that there are sort of Pokemon like this exists…" Link says.
"No, they exist everywhere in this universe…" Someone says. Link and Zelda turns their attention to the source of the sound and see Lumiere walks into the park. His eyes are red, like he had just cried.
"Lumiere?" Link says.
"The creatures like this exist everywhere in this universe. They believe that money is the god, money can do anything. Yes, I know that money can use to buy many things. But there is something that money can't buy, such as happiness, or even the true love. Someone uses money to buy a love. But that love is a bogus love. It will never last-long. If they have money, then why they don't use their money to make the void disappears? If they die, the only things that they can take to their afterlife are their soul and their memory. I hate a creature like this very much!" Lumiere says with a calm voice.
"Lumiere…" Link says. Because he seldom see Lumiere act like this. He knows that Lumiere will become like this when Lumiere is angry.
"I have seen many Pokemon like this since I was a baby. I always hope that people like this will disappear soon. But I was wrong… You know, my family is a poor family. Although I am very happy to stay with my family, but every time I hear someone say something like that, I…I…" Lumiere says before he becomes speechless.
"Lumiere, calm down." Zelda says.
"Forget about them." Link says. Because of Lumiere was born in a poor family (Which turn out that his family is a royal family.), he knows that Lumiere get jealous when everyone has something better than him.
"Link, Zelda, thank you…" Lumiere says. But then, someone runs to them.
"Huff… Huff… I finally found you." Raikou says while he catches his breath.
"Raikou, have you find anything about the pendant?" Link asks.
"Yes, I have good news and a bad news. The good news is I have found the location of the entrance of the lost Civilight Palace in this city already." Raikou says.
"Where is it?" Zelda asks.
"The entrance to the lost Civilight Palace is located in the deepest area of the Civilight Laboratory." Raikou says.
"Civilight Laboratory? You mean the big Laboratory under the Civilight City and the Venturnome Town?" Lumiere asks.
"Yes, this laboratory is so big. It has two entrances, the first one is in the Venturnome Town. But this entrance has sealed since many years ago due to the security problem. The second entrance is in this city." Raikou says.
"So, let's go to the Laboratory!" Link says.
"Wait Link, I haven't told you the bad news. This laboratory never allows the outsider to get into the laboratory. So this is our big problem."
"That's won't be hard for us. We have sneaked into the Yelspark Researching Facility since three years ago." Link says.
"But this one is harder than the Yelspark Researching Facility. This laboratory works 24 hours a day 365.25 days a year. So I have no idea about how can we get into the laboratory." Raikou says.
"What?!" Link says.
"There must be some way to get into that lab." Zelda says.
"I think that we must chase all Pokemon out of the laboratory so we can get into the lab easily." Link says.
"You say like it is very easy to do. But how can we chase them out of the laboratory? Nuclear Bomb? Or virus attack?" Zelda asks.
"That's won't help…" Link says. But then, he and his friends hear an announcement from everywhere in the city.
"ATTENDTION, CITIZEN. ATTENDTION, CITIZEN. NOW THERE'S A REPORT FROM THE CIVILIGHT LABORATORY. THE REPORT SAYS THAT THEY HAD DISCOVERED THE NEW TYPE OF VIRUS. BUT NOW, A GROUP OF CRIMINAL HAS BROKEN INTO THE LABORATORY AND STOLE THE VIRUS FROM THE LAB. THEY SAY THAT THEY WILL RELEASE THE VIRUS INTO OUR CITY IN 24 HOURS. SO CITIZEN, EVACUATE FROM THE CITY IMMEDIATELY! AGAIN, EVACUATE FROM THE CITY IMMEDIANTLY!" After an announcement, every Pokemon in the Civilight City become panic.
"What! A virus!"
"They are right upon us!"
"We must escape from the city immediately!"
"Look like we have got a big problem…" Link says.
"Over wise, this is a good change for us to get into the laboratory." Raikou says.
"Are you insane?! We have only 24 hours left! If we can't escape from the city before the criminals release a virus into the city…" Link says and leaves the rest few words blank.
"So what will we do?" Zelda says.
"Just be a good Pokemon and leave the city easily. So, forget about the pendant too." Someone says. Link and his friends turn their attention to the voice and see a Flygon floating near them.
"Who are you?" Link asks.
"My name is Enavan the Flygon." Enavan says.
"Why do you say something like that? And how can you know about the pendant?" Lumiere asks.
"Because I am your enemy. I am one of Lord Norval's seven sages." Enavan says.
"What?! You are one of them?" Link says.
"You see, since Lord Norval's plan will be succeeded. And this world must be destroyed. Since the world will be destroyed in a several days. So I can do anything to this world. It is the reason why I came here and release a virus from the Laboratory. But I have heard about what you said. It means that you all are Lord Norval's enemy. So you all are my enemy too." Enavan says.
"What is the reason why you want to make this city fall into the chaos by release the virus?" Zelda asks.
"It's so clear. This city has a very advanced technology. But this city lacks the happiness. This city is full with criminal, corruption and many bad things. So making this city fall into the chaos is the best way." Enavan says.
"Why do you say something like that?!" Link asks.
"Look like you don't understand my word. So a little fight will help you understand my word more." Enavan says.
"Come on!" Link says and prepares his sword and shield.
-After a fight-
"…Your skill is very good, better than me…" Enavan says after he lost to Link.
"Light will never lose to the darkness." Link says.
"So, now I will go back to my hideout and tell my lord about you all. Be prepared for yourself…" Enavan says before he flies into the sky.
"That's a bad news." Raikou says.
"Let's not talk about Lord Norval. Now we must talk about how can we get into the lab without getting a virus." Link says.
"That's won't be a big deal. Take this, Link." Raikou says before he hands over three light spheres to Link, Zelda and Lumiere.
"This is the Safe Sphere. This sphere will protect you from any virus. But remember that this sphere will only last long for 3 days." Raikou says.
"Thank you, Raikou." Link says. Then he hands over the Safe Sphere to Zelda and Lumiere.
"Now we have everything we need. Let's go to the laboratory!" Zelda says.
"Wait a sec. I forgot to give you this thing." Raikou says before he hands over something to Zelda.
"What is this?" Zelda asks.
"This is the Harp of Legend. This harp is filled with magic. You need this harp to gain an access to all lost palaces. When you reach the entrance of the lost palace, play the "Ballad of Legend" to open the way into the palace." Raikou says.
"Thank you, Raikou!" Zelda says.
"The entrance to the laboratory is at the center of this city. Good luck." Raikou says.
"Let's go." Link says.
-At the center of the Civilight City-
"So, this is the entrance to the laboratory." Link says. Now Link, Zelda and Lumiere is standing in front of the entrance to the laboratory.
"Link, what will happen if I get a virus?" Zelda asks.
"Don't worry about it. Raikou said the Safe Sphere will last long for 3 days. So we have three days to reach the Lost Civilight Laboratory." Link says.
"Also, now most citizens have evacuated from the city already. I know that they will come back at least three days later. So we have nothing to worry about the citizen." Lumiere says.
"Are you two ready?" Link asks.
"Yes." Zelda and Lumiere say.
"Then let's go, to the location of the first Pure Pendant." Link says. Then they enter the laboratory.
To be continue…
